Travel Support for PDWG Co-Chairs

AFRINIC will support the PDWG co-Chairs to travel to all AFRINIC meetings as well as some RIR meetings depending on funding and state of budget.

Travel support must be requested the previous year (through discussions with the Policy Development Coordinator (PDC)) and added to the budget for the coming financial year.

Even if budgeted for, travel support is not automatic. Each upcoming travel must be requested for (through the PDC) and approved by the CEO at least 2 months before the travel date.

AFRINIC will book air tickets and hotel accommodation, and will pay a per-diem allowance that is intended to cover meals and incidental expenses. Transport between the destination airport and hotel will sometimes be included, but if it is not included, invoices/receipts can be submitted for full refund.

Invoices/Receipts for the refund of visa expenses and transport between residence and home airport shall also be refunded if applicable.
